US EditionIran could start enriching uranium for bomb within months, UN nuclear chief says
- UN nuclear watchdog head Rafael Grossi said on June 28 that Iran could resume uranium enrichment within months despite US and Israeli strikes on its nuclear sites.
- This statement follows Israel's bombing campaign launched on June 13 and subsequent US attacks on key Iranian nuclear facilities, aimed at halting Tehran's weapon development.
- Grossi highlighted that some enriched uranium stockpile, estimated at 408.6kg at 60% enrichment, may have been moved or damaged, and Iran retains significant nuclear knowledge and capacity.
- US President Donald Trump said he might bomb Iran again if uranium enrichment reaches concerning levels, while Iranian officials denied the intent to develop nuclear weapons and rejected Grossi's site visit requests.
- The situation implies continued tension and uncertainty over Iran's nuclear program, with the IAEA maintaining a critical verification role and diplomatic efforts expected to shape future agreements.
